TSA Program Lets Non-Ticketed Visitors Pass Through Airport Security

0

For years, saying goodbye at the airport has usually meant stopping at the security line, where loved ones and friends could go no farther. Now, at select U.S. airports, that long-standing boundary is beginning to shift.

The Transportation Security Administration is rolling out a new access program that lets certain eligible TSA PreCheck members who are not flying move through airport security and visit gate areas. The change brings back a piece of the pre-Sept. 11, 2001, attacks travel experience, when non-ticketed visitors were commonly allowed to accompany passengers all the way to their departure gates.

TSA describes the initiative as a special perk for its most trusted travelers, saying on its website that it is designed to make airport send-offs and reunions easier, allow people to meet friends during layovers, and give visitors a chance to use post-security restaurants and shops — restoring some of the personal moments that once made air travel feel less restricted.

Before 9/11, gate access for people without boarding passes was a routine part of the airport experience. The terrorist attacks led to major changes in U.S. aviation security, including tighter limits on who could enter secure airport zones beyond TSA checkpoints.

The new program, known as “Gateside by TSA PreCheck,” is free to use, but visitors must submit an online application one to three days before they plan to go to the airport and must be approved in advance. Those who receive approval can use a TSA PreCheck lane with an accepted ID. The pass is good for one calendar day and allows re-entry during that same day.

TSA says members of other trusted-traveler programs who have a Known Traveler Number also can apply for access to the gates.

The program is initially available at 13 airports, including Los Angeles International Airport, Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas and Salt Lake City International Airport, according to TSA. But the agency says it plans to expand the program to more airports in the coming months.

Several airports throughout the country already have their own version of the program. Pittsburgh International Airport launched the myPITpass in 2017, although the program was suspended during the COVID-19 pandemic and remained on hold during construction at the airport. 

Seattle-Tacoma International Airport began a similar program a year later, allowing gate access for up to 300 people without tickets a day. Other airports that have their own versions of the program include Philadelphia International Airport and Kansas City International Airport.

Victims Identified After Fatal Amazon Cargo Jet Crash at Miami Airport

Miami officials have named the five people who died after an Amazon cargo aircraft overshot a runway during its landing at Miami International Airport on Sunday, struck vehicles and burst into flames.

Miami-Dade Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz announced the victims’ identities during a Tuesday news conference, providing new details in the deadly airport crash.

The victims were identified as Rolando Aleman Leon, 55; Yoel Rodriguez Naranjo, 53; Julio C. Pineda, 75; Carlos Acosta Fajardo, 53; and Javierkys Reyes Quevedo, 47.

Five additional people were hurt in the crash. Three remain in the hospital, including two listed in critical condition. The aircraft’s two pilots were treated for injuries and later released, the sheriff said.

The jet overshot the runway by at least 1,300 feet beyond the paved surface and crashed into multiple vehicles, including a 2012 white Ford Econoline van with passengers inside, National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy said during a Monday press conference.

The aircraft then crashed through the airport perimeter and struck a civilian vehicle, a Toyota Corolla Cross LE.

The plane then “continued into the grass and impacted another fence line, which separated an area where Tesla robotaxis were stationed,” Homendy said.

All the victims were inside the vehicles, she said.

Trump Slams Albanese Government Over Australia’s New Social Media Laws

0

Donald Trump has taken aim at Anthony Albanese’s government over a proposed crackdown on big US technology firms, warning against laws that could expose major platforms to penalties of up to $100million and require social media companies to offer users an alternative to algorithm-driven feeds.

The Albanese government’s planned digital duty of care would set baseline online safety obligations for social media platforms, while giving Australians the option to choose between content selected by algorithms and a simpler feed showing only posts from accounts they follow.

The proposed rules would also place a clearer responsibility on platforms to act against harmful material circulating online.

That content could include posts encouraging eating disorders, misogynistic material, pornography, or content that glamorises criminal behaviour.

Social media companies found to be in breach of the new duty of care framework could be fined as much as $100million.

The changes would build on Australia’s world-first social media ban for children under 16.

A White House spokesman said the Trump administration had repeatedly warned countries against measures targeting American technology companies in a statement issued on Wednesday morning,

‘President Trump has unequivocally warned trading partners against imposing digital services taxes, fines, and other forms of extortion on America’s leading technology sector. The [Trump] administration remains committed to raising these issues with our trading partners.’

Under the proposed My Feed, My Way initiative, social media platforms would be required to let users opt out of algorithm-driven feeds and choose more of what they see online

Under the proposed My Feed, My Way initiative, social media platforms would be required to let users opt out of algorithm-driven feeds and choose more of what they see online 

Meanwhile, members of the opposition and One Nation have labelled the proposal an overreach, criticising provisions in the draft laws that would give the communications minister power to determine what is classified as harmful content online.

Governments should not have the power to control social media content, Nationals leader Matt Canavan said. 

‘People should be able to freely express their views, and any attempt to silence or gag or influence those by governments should be absolutely rejected in a free and open democratic society,’ Senator Canavan told reporters. 

Opposition leader, Angus Taylor, says it is an attempt to ‘censor’ the internet. 

Albanese rejects this claim, saying ‘it’s about giving people control themselves over what they see’. 

How the laws will work?

Under the draft legislation, social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and TikTok must give users an option of whether they want their default feed to include personalised content recommended by an algorithm or only content from their friends and people they follow. This option will appear as a popup box for people when they use social media. 

The draft bill also requires digital service providers to protect all users from seriously harmful material and conduct, including illegal content. 

This includes content relating to child sexual exploitation and child sexual abuse, grooming, promoting or inciting sexual violence, supporting terrorism, and encouraging criminal offences, illicit drug use and abhorrent violent conduct. 

In addition, digital service providers must also protect teenagers and children from addictive features and harmful content. 

This includes pornography and content that encourages disordered eating, hostile attitudes towards women and gender equality, dangerous stunts, and harassment or bullying. 

Companies must also conduct regular risk assessments which identify ‘all reasonably foreseeable risks’, as well as the content and design features that give rise to those risks. 

They must make these assessments available to the eSafety Commissioner within 30 days, if requested.

The draft bill also empowers the commissioner to issue removal notices for ‘nudify’ apps and websites, and streamline the child cyberbullying and adult cyber abuse schemes.

Model Struts Out of Court Facing $1M Clothing Theft Charge

0

A male fashion model made a stylish exit from court in pricey designer sneakers Tuesday, following a hearing tied to an alleged movie-style robbery in which prosecutors say he and three others took more than $1 million worth of luxury goods from a high-end Manhattan boutique.

Abdallah Diaby, 21, was arrested in February on grand larceny, burglary and criminal possession of stolen property charges stemming from a December 2025 break-in at 4Gseller, an upscale luxury retailer in SoHo.

Diaby appeared before Judge Althea Drysdale on Tuesday morning at New York Supreme Criminal Court wearing a crisp white button-down shirt, black trousers and high-top sneakers that appeared to be Louis Vuitton LV Trainers. Similar pairs have been listed for around $3,645 on some resale sites.

The brief court appearance centered on alleged video evidence in the case. Diaby addressed the judge calmly, saying, “Good morning,” in an even voice.

After the hearing, when the Daily Mail asked how he was feeling, Diaby responded with a bashful smile and a laugh before lifting a piece of paper to cover his face.

The fashion model is out on supervised release after his February arrest. Judge Drysdale said on Tuesday that he has received a ‘stellar’ report since his release. 

‘Let me be crystal clear –  you cannot and must not be arrested,’ Drysdale sternly instructed Diaby. 

Diaby quickly conferred with his lawyer, defense attorney Daniel Ollen, before casually leaving the courthouse.

Judge Drysdale has set a November 10 deadline for a decision. Prosecutors have offered one to three years in prison, but Diaby’s attorneys have not yet responded. The model has pleaded not guilty. 

Prosecutors have charged two other individuals in connection with the heist. Authorities arrested Ebrima Bayo, 20, on May 19, and Treasure Gyamfi, 18, on April 16, according to the New York Police Department.

They also face charges of grand larceny, burglary and criminal possession of stolen property. Bayo last appeared in court in June and is set to appear again on September 20. 

The burglary unfolded just after 4.10am in December, when a silver Ford SUV was spotted outside the luxury store, according to a criminal complaint the New York Post previously obtained. 

The suspects allegedly arrived disguised as construction workers. Three men in dark clothing and construction vests exited the vehicle carrying a ladder, then climbed scaffolding around the building and broke into the boutique. A fourth accomplice remained outside, investigators said.

Surveillance cameras captured the burglary. Tommy Macari, the owner of 4Gseller told the New York Post that the suspects appeared to have carefully planned the operation, describing it as ‘kind of like the movies.’

‘They were in and out of the store in four and a half minutes,’ he added.

Macari told the outlet the thieves targeted rare, high-end items, including merchandise from Saint Laurent and Chrome Hearts.

The suspects allegedly dropped items from an upper level of the store to accomplices below, who loaded the merchandise into a waiting vehicle.

Macari told the Post that police arrived about 91 seconds after the suspects left, but the group had already fled.

The boutique operates largely through private showroom appointments rather than walk-in traffic.

Diaby had been represented by New York modeling agency TWO MGMT and has over 90,000 followers on Instagram. It’s unclear if the company still represents him. 

Since his arrest, Diaby has remained active on social media. He posted photos of himself singing and playing the guitar just five days before his recent court appearance. 

He also shared modeling photos with Telfar in August and frequently posts videos and photos of himself out and about in New York City. 

Just one day before his court appearance in June, Diaby shared a pair of yellow Balmain pants, which he then appeared to wear in court.   

Diaby’s attorney told the Daily Mail in court that they would not be providing comment. The Daily Mail has reached out to TWO MGMT for comment. 

49ers Moves Signal George Kittle’s Week 1 Return Is Near

0

George Kittle’s status for the San Francisco 49ers’ Week 1 matchup with the Los Angeles Rams remains uncertain, but the latest roster activity suggests a return could be moving closer to reality.

San Francisco’s decision to waive tight end Bradyen Willis and bring him back on the practice squad creates a clearer path for Kittle to rejoin the active mix, leaving a potential opening for the veteran star.

After Tuesday’s practice in Australia, 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy praised the work Kittle has put into his recovery. Purdy described the tight end’s progress as “awesome” and said that, from a quarterback’s perspective, seeing him back on the field feels “really good.”

“Obviously George is very electric with his personality and all that, with what he brings to the team,” Purdy told reporters. “Just seeing him back on the field, running around, and how explosive he is as a tight end, it’s like, ‘Alright, it feels really good to have him back.’”

Kittle, a seven-time Pro Bowl selection, has spent the offseason working his way back from a ruptured Achilles suffered during last season’s NFC Wild Card game. The injury occurred in the second quarter shortly after he made his first catch of the contest, forcing him out immediately.

Kittle went into the 49ers locker room to have himself looked at, and would never return to the game.


Generally, the return timeframe from an Achilles injury is a 9-12 month period. Kittle has been expected to return by eight.

When he was with the 49ers over the offseason, he was seen working out in the team’s facility during OTAs and training camp. He was also spotted posting videos of him working out from his home in Tennessee, showing his recovery at a rapid pace.

“He did everything he could to get back for Week 1,” Purdy said. “That’s a credit to him. That’s actually remarkable to be able to have that kind of injury and do what he did to get back.”

As of now, it appears it’ll come down to the wire on if Kittle will be playing against the Rams, when the two teams are scheduled to take the field at 10:35 AM on Friday in Australia.

Karmelo Anthony Gun Photos Surface as Docs Allege Threats

0

Just hours before Karmelo Anthony fatally stabbed Austin Metcalf at a Texas high school track meet on April 2, 2025, his girlfriend alerted school staff that he had allegedly been stalking her, while text messages show him saying he was “on the verge,” according to a 75-page court document obtained by News Media.

That morning, Valeria Torres Perez, Anthony’s girlfriend, told a Centennial High School staff member that Anthony had been driving past her home and would not accept her attempt to end their relationship.

Text messages attributed to Anthony show that at 12:59 a.m., he wrote, “im lowk on the verge.” The message did not explain what he meant, but he repeated and stressed the same phrase roughly 35 minutes later.

The document outlines dozens of alleged prior acts prosecutors sought to introduce at trial, including threats, assaults, weapons-related messages and statements about committing robberies. It does not say the messages were about Metcalf or establish that any weapon mentioned in the exchanges was used in the track-meet stabbing.

Prosecutors filed the notice on May 8, 2026, to identify extraneous offenses they intended to use at trial. It is not a judicial finding that the alleged acts occurred, and the notice warns that some screenshots capture only portions of the full exchanges.

The notice reaches back to a Dec. 23, 2023, exchange with Perez, when Anthony described losing control when he became angry.

“When I get mad i see red,” he wrote. “When I get mad i blackout,” “When I get mad i cant control myself” and “When I get mad my eyes change color.”

Screenshot of four text messages attributed to Karmelo Anthony that say he sees red, blacks out, cannot control himself and believes his eyes change color when he gets angry.

In that same exchange, Anthony allegedly said he assaulted another person after the individual posted about “smoking” Anthony’s cousin. “He posted where he was at and we pulled up and got em,” Anthony wrote.

A May 5, 2024, Instagram photo allegedly showed Anthony holding a firearm while posing with a group.

By May 17, 2024, Anthony had told Perez he was going to shoot a woman, writing, “im shooting her,” the notice says. On June 10, 2024, he allegedly threatened to shoot Perez by asking, “how many bullets uu want coming out of ur chest.”

Six days later, he allegedly threatened to assault Perez again, writing, “imma beat ur a–.”

The threats continued into the fall of 2024. During September, Anthony allegedly made threats involving a gun, writing “gun to the head” and saying he would cut another person’s brakes. By November, he had allegedly written about shooting something up and referred to gloves, a rope and getting his hands on a switch.

The notice says a Nov. 13, 2024, video showed Anthony holding what appears to be a firearm.

A Jan. 4, 2025, video allegedly showed Anthony aiming what appears to be a firearm at a home before running away.

Separate exchanges with other contacts followed. On Feb. 19, 2025, Anthony discussed buying a firearm and an extended clip in a text conversation with Anthony Mendoza. A Feb. 26, 2025, exchange involving a different phone number included a discussion about carrying a firearm.

The notice also says Anthony discussed committing robberies in January 2025 and was suspended for fighting in February 2025.

By March 2025, the messages directed at Perez had grown more threatening. Anthony allegedly texted her on March 8, 2025, “imma f—— murder u … yo friends go die … sho them ts.”

The notice says Anthony assaulted Perez on March 14, 2025. Thirteen days later, he allegedly threatened her with a deadly weapon and referenced having a gun.

The document also cites alleged racist and anti-gay messages, discussions about narcotics, photographs and videos involving firearms, and statements about fighting and assaulting other people. It traces alleged misconduct back to Anthony’s school years in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, including “numerous acts of assaultive conduct.”

Anthony was convicted of killing Metcalf and sentenced to 35 years in prison. He has appealed the conviction.

The court document does not provide a formal mental-health diagnosis or establish that Anthony was experiencing a psychiatric crisis before the shooting. Instead, it presents prosecutors’ account of prior conduct they argued could be relevant to the case.

News Media reached out to Anthony’s attorney, Russell Wilson, for comment.
